I'm afraid all my tennis playing was done in the days of the wooden racquet with simple gut strings. Racquets with metal frames were coming into vogue but, for some reason I can't remember, were generally frowned upon.

Anyway I wish they'd cut down on all this so-called 'smart' technology in sport. I takes a lot of the fun out of it as far as I'm concerned.

Apparently 47 kph - I even got a certificate to prove it. All I can say is my game has other strengths to make up for it. Mind you the guy who went after me was 64 and they took his details cos it was a leading score , didn't think that was much ahead of me relatively speaking so it didn't make mine look so bad. So huge respect to even the weakest serving pros.

47kph is the WTA record for slowest serve ever, guess who hit it and who returned it?

I was just glad I hit the ball! We also did the smoke doors thing - found that more embarasing cos at least when I was serving I had my back to people. But it wasa funny picture. You should so do the serve thing this year.
